Review: WAITRESS at The 5th Avenue Theatre
Dear Readers, when the rights for local theaters to produce hit shows become available, or start to become available, you know every theater will be vying to be the first.
Review: MOTHER RUSSIA at The Seattle Rep
If you’re at all familiar with the plays of Lauren Yee, Dear Readers, then you know of her delightfully odd situations, rich characters and scintillating dialog.
Review: TIME STANDS STILL at 12th Ave Arts
Time Stands Still (by Thalia’s Umbrella), draws you into a carefully crafted, intimate world where the line between audience and observer feels blurred.
Review: LETTERS FROM MAX at Seattle Public Theater
Dear Readers, I love a good play that can make me feel something.
Review: CRAVE at Intiman Theater
CRAVE, Sarah Kane’s stylistic one-act play, is an uncompromising plunge into the raw, chaotic landscape of human emotion.
Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS from ACT And The 5th Avenue Theatre
Dear Readers, if you’re not familiar with the Jason Robert Brown love story, “The Last Five Years” currently being offered from ACT and The 5th Avenue Theatre, you could get a bit confused watching it.
Review: BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY at Seattle Rep
Dear Readers, I’m all for a slice of life play showing the inequities in class, race, gender, etc.
Review: HAMILTON at The Paramount Theater
The legacy of Hamilton needs no rehashing – record sales, Tony wins and nominations, career launches, and undeniable songs.
Review: LEWIS AND TOLKIEN at Taproot Theater
For two men who built grand worlds of myth and magic, LEWIS AND TOLKIEN is a strikingly intimate and deeply human story—not of great battles or epic journeys, but of friendship, regret, and the quiet ache of unspoken words.
Review: DIAL M FOR MURDER at The Village Theater
What did BroadwayWorld's critic think of Dial M for Murder at The Village Theater? Read the review here and learn more about The Village Theater's production.
Review: WHERE IS HERE?/ اینجا کجاست؟ at Seattle Public Theater
Seattle Public Theater’s Where is Here? takes audiences to an unexpected setting—a bleak airport baggage claim—only to eventually veer into the surreal.
Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at The Paramount Theatre
Dear Readers, first off let me wish you a Happy New Year and here’s hoping we’re in for some outstanding theater in 2025.
Review: A FESTIVAL OF LESSONS AND CAROLS at Benaroya Hall
Ending on a a fervent note, spurring the audience to go forth and enjoy their holidays in the best way possible: with music in their hearts and minds
Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL at The Paramount Theatre
Dear Readers, buckle up! Not because we’re about to go 88 mph but because I’m about to be a musical theater snob.
Review: HAPPY CHRISTMAS, JEEVES at Taproot Theatre
With every new year, theatergoers feel the excitement of the holiday-themed work produced around Seattle.
Review: BLITHE SPIRIT at Seattle Rep
Dear Readers, I do love a good farce.
Review: MARY POPPINS at The 5th Avenue Theatre
Dear Readers, the magical stage musical of the beloved “Mary Poppins”, currently playing at the 5th Avenue Theatre, may not have been referring to live theater as a whole with their song “Anything Can Happen”, but that sentiment certainly applied to why we love live theater.
Review: A VERY DIE HARD CHRISTMAS at Seattle Public Theater
Dear Readers, let’s set the way back machine to 2018 when Jeff Schell, The Habit Comedy Troupe, and Mark Siano in conjunction with Seattle Public Theater gifted us that holiday season with “A Very Die Hard Christmas”.
Review: MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 1 at Benaroya Hall
Both monumental works were perfectly matched in their brashness and sensitivity, helmed and rendered with great panache by two outstanding young artists: a program to delight all tastes
Review: LEGALLY BLONDE: THE MUSICAL at Village Theatre
Dear Readers, if you know my reviews then you know how picky I can be, especially with shows I love.
Review: WICKED at The Paramount Theatre
Dear Readers, something struck me last night while watching the juggernaut musical “Wicked”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre.
Review: PRIMARY TRUST at The Seattle Rep
Dear Readers, really good storytelling doesn’t need flash and glitz.
Review: THE POMEGRANATE TREE at Theatre Off Jackson
Successful immersive theater is a difficult-to-achieve, yet, extremely sought-after experience.
Review: MRS. LOMAN IS LEAVING at ACT
Dear Readers, like many, I love a good rollicking backstage comedy.
